Warner Brothers Re-release double-feature pressbook with HERCULES UNCHAINED

Original Warner Brothers Re-release double feature pressbook for the Pietro Francisci sword and sandal epic, HERCULES (1959) [La fatiiche di Ercole] starring Steve Reeves, Sylva Koscina, Fabrizio Mioni, and Ivo Garrani. This low-budget Italian epic combines a mŽlange of characters and events from separate mythological stories. Joseph E. Levine flew to Italy to see the original Italian film and acquired the U.S. rights and re-titled it as simply HERCULES. Levine spent more money promoting the American version than its Italian producers had spent making the film in the first place. This resulted in the film becoming one of the most popular and profitable films of its time. Warner re-released the film with its sequel HERCULES UNCHAINED and this pressbook relates to that release. Authentic, original. MovieArt will sell no reproductions.
